Potential PeVatron supernova remnant G106.3+2.7 seen in the highest-energy gamma rays
M. Amenomori, Y. W. Bao, X. J. Bi +92
Cosmic rays (protons and other atomic nuclei) are believed to gain energies of petaelectronvolts (PeV) and beyond at astrophysical particle accelerators called 'PeVatrons' inside o…
Gamma-ray Observation of the Cygnus Region in the 100 TeV Energy Region
M. Amenomori, Y. W. Bao, X. J. Bi +110
We report observations of gamma-ray emissions with energies in the 100 TeV energy region from the Cygnus region in our Galaxy. Two sources are significantly detected in the directi…
First Detection of sub-PeV Diffuse Gamma Rays from the Galactic Disk: Evidence for Ubiquitous Galactic Cosmic Rays beyond PeV Energies
M. Amenomori, Y. W. Bao, X. J. Bi +92
We report, for the first time, the long-awaited detection of diffuse gamma rays with energies between 100 TeV and 1 PeV in the Galactic disk. Particularly, all gamma rays above 398…
Passivation of Si(Li) detectors operated above cryogenic temperatures for space-based applications
Nathan Saffold, Field Rogers, Mengjiao Xiao +12
This work evaluates the viability of polyimide and parylene-C for passivation of lithium-drifted silicon (Si(Li)) detectors. The passivated Si(Li) detectors will form the particle…
A Peculiar ICME Event in August 2018 Observed with the Global Muon Detector Network
W. Kihara, K. Munakata, C. Kato +20
We demonstrate that global observations of high-energy cosmic rays contribute to understanding unique characteristics of a large-scale magnetic flux rope causing a magnetic storm i…
